To Those Who Prefer the Christ of Their Own Being:
The light of Man's fancy often takes him in byways of thought afar from the House of the Father's Thoughts. The bane of mere human intelligence, cribbed within the molds of musty concepts, must be exchanged for the freshness of the dawn of the Radiance of Man's own Immortal Being. The link between men of true greatness and the ordinary man is but one of origin. For those who achieve and those who are content to drift do have a common spiritual as well as physical genesis. The skepticism of mankind, with its narrow confines, provides no avenue of escape, no loophole in the screen of thought through which the carnal mind may find reprieve from warfare with the Spirit of Truth. I AM come to thrust the Sword of Truth which shall part the veil of human delusion (see Matthew 10:34).
I would like at this time to say to the children of men that the Ascended Masters have long desired to impart to mankind a greater understanding of the "many mansions in the Father's House" (John 14:2). The Great Holy Brothers of Our Spiritual Order have long sought to enlighten mankind to a greater degree concerning their spiritual origins and destiny. But the unfortunate persecutions that have occurred throughout the world and in the middle ages continue in varied forms to hinder the release of mighty spiritual Truths to mankind. And those who depart from accepted norms and standards of theological conception find to the present hour that their contemporaries effectively attempt their crucifixion and trial by fire. Little is gained by a mere clash of ideologies, albeit Holy Truth, as the Pearl of Great Price, be cast before the swinish concepts of the unenlightened.
The hideous picture which has been presented to mankind of a vengeful God finds no justification in the realm of Cosmic Truth and Beauty in Manifestation in Man and Nature. However, each abrupt outpicturing in Nature which is disastrous to mankind stems solely from the almost overpowering weight of human discord which has been generated upon the planet for so long. It is needful, then, for the honest of heart to search within themselves and the total archives of humanity and to see whether or not the vicious tyrants of past ages, some of whom continue to exist in positions of power to the present moment, have found support for their evil deeds among the masses of humanity. It will be noted by those who are able to read the record that individuals, supposing that they would acquire some personal gain thereby, have actually submitted to gross injustices against their own Being. Others, lacking courage and having personal fears, did not dare to raise their hands in opposition to the rulers of darkness.
The realms of Church and State are the great circles of influence which are intended to effectuate a harmonizing and beneficent influence upon all. It is natural, then, that those who desire to establish the incoming Kingdom of God among men seek to capture the best seats in both of these domains. This does not mean that among the religious and public servants of the day there are not glorious God-fearing and God-loving individuals. The pressures of the moment reveal the need for more of such men of high ideals in positions of power in Church and State.
When Justice is enshrined in the hearts of men it will begin to manifest completely in Nature; for the "lilies of the field" which toil not neither spin, but are arrayed in greater glory than Solomon of old (Matthew 6:28,29) continue to testify to the care of God for His Creation. Let open-mindedness of Heart and Being, without fear, cause men to yearn to see the Face of God. Has it not been beautifully spoken that when men shall see the Face of God their faces shall "shine forth as the Sun" (Matthew 13:43)? So long as fear of personal survival, dependent upon theological concepts, clouds the minds of men they will not be able to fully perceive the Face of God. For, "No man can see the Face of God and live" (Exodus 33:20-23) as he formerly did, or think as he formerly thought.
I AM come, then, in this present hour to precipitate a new adventure of spiritual glory for the planet. Remember that each reader of these, My Words, is able to generate a mighty degree of attunement based on Faith in the Immortal and Holy Intent of the Eternal Father. To Us who know Him, it is unthinkable that men would so desecrate Him by their thoughts; and yet, We understand and condemn not those who know not, those who still walk in the shadow of their own ignorance. But, as a cloud passing across the face of the Sun, We decree that the swift movement of the wind of the Holy Spirit shall presage the incoming Golden Age. The Voice from the Secret Place of the Most High shall be heard in the hearts of men, and within themselves they shall understand all that is archaic concerning Man's past misconceptions of Holy Order and Holy Law.
With the advent of greater Truth and Understanding, the hearts of men shall be knit together as never before and the family of nations, reflecting the personal advancement of the individual, shall, through the arch and doorway of the Temple Universal - where man does indeed "know thyself" - come one by one to the Holy Mountain of God to be sealed in the Luminous Orb of the Immortal Presence of Light.
It is an epilogue of Freedom that is depicted in the scene where the multitude preferred Barabbas to Myself (Matthew 27:15-26; Mark 15:6-15; Luke 23:13-25). And the cry "Give us Barabbas" still echoes as a scar across the etheric body of the planet. There are some, yea many, who still prefer Barabbas to the Christ of their own Being. These generate fierceness which seeks to defend their own personal existence. But they cannot forever stand ego-centered in the inward spiraling forces which are intended to involute the Godhead into their own Hearts to manifest as His Kingdom within them. Therefore, the crushing weight of their own self-generated discord shall disintegrate their plans in epoch after epoch until they shall no longer be as men, but as Christs, recognizing the grandeur of the Eternal Father. Thus shall every knee bow and every tongue confess that He is Lord, to the Glory of the Great God Christ-Presence of every Man.
The Universal Holy Trinity is not far removed from any Man. My own demonstration was "for the healing of the nations" (Revelation 22:2), and the demonstration of each man is for a like purpose. The idea of a "favorite son" has never entered the Consciousness of God, and the term "the only begotten of the Father" (John 1:14) refers to the sole manifestation in each person of His Immaculate Oneness. Only the Father could create the most real Image of Himself. And yet, in endowing this Being (the created) with free will, He enabled that blessed individualized Being to become "a little lower than the Angels," yet, ultimately, as the lost sheep, to be crowned with more glory and honor (Psalm 8:5).
Often when in holy contemplation, men will find myriad thoughts of celestial beauty occupying their consciousness until they are no longer able to contain the great ocean of their identity. The manifestation of their Victory and of their personal Ascension in the Light must come, then, as the cup of their identity flows over the brim of individualized manifestation to unite with the Universal Ocean of pure Love. He who thus loses his life in God-reunion "for My sake" (Matthew 10:39) finds, in the allness of God, the only Reality of his Identity. The merging of the finite with the infinite does not destroy; on the contrary, it strengthens every holy bond and creates an ode to Immortality that is a personal manifestation of Victory for each one so blessed.
To the present, then, for all abiding yet in the consciousness of mankind's own crucifixion upon the karmic cross of world shame, to "watch with Me the one hour" (Mark 14:37) is Man's offering to God in space and time which pays the price for his Eternal Immortality. Thus is the only begotten of the Father offered as a sacrifice, caught in the Garden of Gethsemane as in a thicket; yet, as in the promise made unto Abraham of old (Genesis 22:1-19), the Son is released by the Angelic Command, and the Infinite and Holy Presence of each man takes dominion over the whole individual until every castaway (one who "casts away" his inheritance or "is cast out" by his own error from God's higher Consciousness) is Free!
We continue day by day, hour by hour, for all Eternity to serve the world need. Lo, I AM with you always.
